Influential punk act Face to Face have announced that they will be reuniting for at least one performance at Bamboozle Left. The band will be performing on Saturday, April 5th at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Irvine California.

Along with the confirmation, the band's management notes that the bill will feature the four piece line–up for the band: Trever Keith, Scott Shiflett, Chad Yaro and Pete Parada. While there are no immediate plans for a full scale tour or further recordings, the band will be playing select festival dates in the U.S. and internationally.

Frontman Trever Keith has also announced plans to release a new solo album. Titled Melancholics Anonymous, the record aims to pick up where the band's 1999's album Ignorance is Bliss left off. Keith will also be performing solo dates beginning on March 8th, 2008.

Formed in 1991, Face to Face released albums on labels including Fat Wreck Chords, Dr.Strange, Universal and Vagrant before splitting up. Their final release was the 2005 hits compilation, Shoot the Moon: The Essential Collection.

They're playing a fuckin show, who cares. They deserve to make a buck off music they created a while back if they want to.

The other day my boss came up to me and asked if I could demo a project I worked on a couple years ago for some people for some extra compensation. I was all like "fuck no! i don't want to compromise the integrity of that code i wrote 2 years ago! find someone else for your cash grab!".

i saw the larry arms/falcon/sundowner/amsteel show when they came thru denver last year, and was there mostly for american steel, but was jazzed to hear that they were playing slapstick songs. everytime he'd say "this is an old one, sing along if you know it...", i'd get all happy, and then they pretty much stuck to broadways songs.

I thought I'd never say this after seeing the last few Bamboozle line ups, but this is actually really good. Face To Face, Bouncing Souls, Alkaline Trio, Reel Big Fish, Streetlight Manifest, Anti-Flag, RX Bandits, and Goldfinger (if they're actually better than their last album).

Nah, I was going to but it just didn't work out. My girlfriend was starting her semester yesterday morning and I had been out of my office in training for a week and didn't really feel like coming in and dealing with a whole bunch of catching up and work after being out late at a show an hour away.

sweet, I took my girl and she also had a good time. Soundclash was great, they opened with until we burn and went into most of Sounding ( probably half, if not more) and mixed in street gospel tunes, the best being st andrews. They also did a cover of rudie cant fail as well. My only complaint was that the vocals were not as clear as I would have hoped ( not jays fault tho).
Beat union ( from england) opened, they were good, very similar to specials/english beat and westbound train rocked..good time-oldpunker-

the other half went to myspace to confirm what i thought, and yup, they sounded just like a punk band from victorville, ca who got put out records in the 90's should sound like.

and to say that they don't sound like any other band...come on...really? i know every band has their own singer's voice, the band has different members, etc, but really? they don't sound like other socal epifat bands from the same era?

Bamboozle 4/5/08- Alkaline Trio, Jimmy Eat World, New Found Glory, Reel Big Fish, Bouncing Souls, Streelight Manifesto, and Face to Face all in one day. That is fuckin bad ass, and a day before my 27th birthday (damn I feel old........)

It's so unfortunate that this is being called a cash grab. It's Face to Face they're way better then most other bands out there today. I guarantee they were highly influential to most of them as well. I'd much rather hear about them then probably 95% of the bands talked about on this website. For fucks sake panic at the diso is right above this article.

Cool, don't know if I'll get to see any of these dates being in montreal, but I love 'em so much I'm just glad they're active. Been waiting awhile to see what comes after where IIB left off, but does Trevor Keith solo mean Scott Shiflett isn't involved?

It's really good to see a mostly positive response from this punknews crew. Everyone is sooo damn negative all the time. And while it's more entertaining to read negative comments this deserves nothing but everyone being fucking stoked! This is amazing news. One of my fave bands of all time. Double stoked for Trever Keiths solo album that will sound like Ignorance Is Bliss. Love that album. Best news ive heard in awhile.
